Chris,

I am in the process of modifying the files slightly to strengthen the hinge as 
well as make them easier to print.  I’ve done a number of iterations since I 
first posted this last week.

I found if I printed the leg facing 1 way on my printer it printed well and the 
hinge would break as required.
However, I printed facing 180 deg. the hinge would not break easily.  

Either way, tweaking was needed.

If you would like a set to test let me know, and I will drop some in the mail.  
Note:  I am not making these to sell.  Just a fun hobby.

For anyone interested.  I expect to upload the newest versions to Thingiverse 
of the printable files in a day or so.

If someone makes a batch, I'd buy a few sets.

Been playing with my 3D Printer too much…
 
I’ve used pencils, plastic coat hangers and other materials to make let 
extensions for my Model 100.
 
I designed a folding leg extension.  This allows me to keep the legs on the 
computer when I store it in its plastic slip case.  No more lost peg legs for 
me. They open and lock at around 40mm (1.5 inches).  Pictures are on the site 
below.
 
Remember this is a work in progress.  Since the object is fairly small it may 
take more tweaking to work with every printer and filament type.
 
Comment and Remixes are welcome.  This is fun project for me!
